I think that once I prove myself to my superiors, I will have the chance to do increasingly difficult work assignments. This is what I hope for. Mr. Smith, I’m a very hard worker and I take a lot of pride in my work. I think I can be a strong asset to your company if I’m given the chance to prove myself.
